Megan and Ryan's ap.net Radiohead marathon

[theguy77]

so megan is at my house and we're doing a marathon of our favorite band this sunday, january 17th, at approximately 2 PM EST, and we want as many radiohead fans who post on this site to join in with us. every album -- yes, EVERY album -- from Pablo Honey to In Rainbows.

we'll be using this thread to post a running commentary as we follow our generation's most prominent alternative band through each of their phases, from shitty "we wish we were nirvana" britpop to "hey let's deliver a giant fucking middle finger to everyone's expectations and make weird-ass electronica music" to "you know, why don't we just do a pop record? we can already do it better than everyone else, and we'll put that shit out for free and still be millionaires".

so if you wanna join in and be fanboys and fangirls with us, sunday at 2 PM EST. or maybe you want to discover this band and see what all the buzz is about. maybe you're just not familiar enough with this band and would like to see more of their multi-faceted appeal. download the rest of the discography if you dont have it all, and we will be starting at 2 PM sharp, so arrange your playlist accordingly beforehand and be ready to press play to join in.

[Chromefox]

I approve this message. More or less.

[IntoTheSun]

It's Thursday, bro.

[cshadows2887]

Won't this thread be on page 5 by Sunday?

I'd totally do this if I owned Pablo Honey or Amnesiac yet.

[IntoTheSun]

oh wait...this means Sunday at eleven. Godammit, I have rehearsal until 2:30 pm!

[quicksilv001]

I would love to do this, but I don't think i have the 6 hours to commit to this.

[WhoSaidThat?]

I think I left my oven on...

[x togepi x]

i don't think you needed to make a thread to say you were going to listen to a few good albums and then some really mediocre ones.

[Theher3tic]

That's actually kind of a cool idea. Maybe I'll stop by.

[El_Jeffe]

I'll join in from Kid A onwards if my timezone fits in haha. That's all I really care for (oh my gosh, I know).

[Greg.Kushlan]

I read this as Meg Ryan's ap.net Radiohead Marathon. I was confused, but seeing as how she's out of work wouldn't have been too suprised if that was what it was.

[tawtaw]

In Rainbows was a pop record?

[Deadbolt23]

Yes. I do this shit all the time with my friend. It's like having a book club, but for music.

I just googled the time difference. It's gonna start 7pm for me.

[neurosis]

I listened to all their albums in a row the night before I saw them live about a year and a half ago. It was half awesome / half "ah jeez, too much Radiohead"

[maxvsmaradona]

Raise your hand if you care?

[kwsqd]

:hitself:

I WILL BE SUR 2 B THAR THX 4 TEH INVITAZTIONZ

[meroki22]

There was a time about two years ago when I did this almost on a daily basis. Have fun!

[Deadbolt23]

Raise your hand if you care?

I'm not being snarky when I pose this question, but why are you attempting a "mass-listening party?" I mean, I don't get the "coolness" or fun in everyone listening to the same thing at the same time. If we all decided to listen to whatever I'm rocking now, I don't think that would effect my enjoyment of the record(s).

Wait, or is the purpose of this to garner a collective listening marathon and discuss it in real-time online? That would be kinda cool. If so, kudos. Discussing the works as everyone is listening it together could create some captivating discourse.

[Deadbolt23]

Wait, or is this to listen all together in a marathon and discuss it in real-time online? That would be kinda cool. Discussing the works as everyone is listening it together. That could spark some decent debate.

Yes.
Unless I've got this whole thing wrong.

[ThePartialGlow]

Chronological Beatles parties are fun too!

I think that's the idea.

Sounds like a cool idea, I'll probably start with The Bends though haha.

[KidRobot]

Official Radiohead thread would do.


those would be the only people that would care.

[Paulb-182]

Pablo Honey has some great songs. I can't stress that enough

[xJesusFreakx]

This sounds like a neat idea, especially since I haven't heard each album of theirs start-to-finish yet, but I'm just not willing to spend 6 hours or whatever on Radiohead. If you're doing this in forum form, though, I'll read the ensuing discussion.

[maxvsmaradona]

I'm having a Motion City Soundtrack listening party right now. Anyone is free to join. There will be drinks and fingerfoods. Maybe even some karaoke.

[anamericangod]

I have more Radiohead tracks than Lunchforthesky.

[ThisIsNotDan]

I have more Radiohead tracks than Lunchforthesky.

but how nice is your system? is it $10,000 and huge, you fucking new jack?

[Smash Adams]

I have more Radiohead tracks than Lunchforthesky.

/siqbrag
You also weren't obliterated from the records Gestapo style

[Regards]

I have more Radiohead tracks than Lunchforthesky.

/siqbrag
haha. Yahtzee.

And I'm pretty sure you know my thoughts on Radiohead. I'll be sure to put on some music that doesn't bore me though ;-)

Edit: Just curious, but on the topic of Ben, what happened to that music blog they were working with? Sun sky beach whatever music blog? Last I tried to look at it, it was gone.

[HometownHero]

Pablo Honey has some great songs. I can't stress that enough

It also has some really bad ones

[kearn1tm]

We still write Sun on the Sand. It's a .com now. He has nothing to do with it anymore.

[Un'Aria Ancora]

I'm all in. Me and my green.

:thumbup: Keepin' it classy. Right on, I'll check it out again.

[pennie]

ehhh good luck with that

[theguy77]

Won't this thread be on page 5 by Sunday?

I'd totally do this if I owned Pablo Honey or Amnesiac yet.

we'll bump it accordingly on sunday morning, and anyone who's joining in can do so.

yeah, this is the point. megan and i have been doing this together using AIM for the past year, and we figured when she came to visit maybe we could get more people to join in.

I would love to do this, but I don't think i have the 6 hours to commit to this.

I'll join in from Kid A onwards if my timezone fits in haha. That's all I really care for (oh my gosh, I know).

we'll probably announce when we're about to move on to the next album 10 minutes in advance. anybody can jump in at any time they want, you dont all have to listen all the way from Pablo Honey to In Rainbows.

[DejaNew]

Shit, that's alot of Radiohead, I'll definitely be tuning in for parts of it though. Cowboys game is at 1 though, so I most likely won't be around for the start.

[SomedayTheFire]

I like this idea!

[Genuma]

sorry man, i'll be watching aziz.

American or British versions?

So, you don't have six hours to listen to Radiohead, but you'll be on the forums for thos 6 hours anyway?

[Chromefox]

Todd has the right idea.

[Mibabalou]

im drunk

[xJesusFreakx]

So, you don't have six hours to listen to Radiohead, but you'll be on the forums for thos 6 hours anyway?

I almost never sit on the forums for six straight hours, and when I do, I'm always really mad at myself. This is a neat idea, and I'm looking forward to the final outcome, but I just can't justify myself sitting on my laptop all day listening to Radiohead. Maybe I'll do something similar in the future for the sake of an article for a magazine or something, but not just out of love for the band (which I don't love as a whole as much as some people), at least not now.

I was mostly teasing. That's too long a time committment for me too. But I'll definitely tune in for parts of it.

I've only ever done the US versions completely in order.

[Deadbolt23]

Pablo Honey
Iron lung EP
The Bends
OK Computer
Kid A
Amnesiac
Hail To The Thief
Com Lag
In Rainbows

These are the albums I have. Will you be listening to all of this? Is there anything else I need to get?

[GuitarR0cker1]

There's a good chance I'll join in after Pablo Honey.

[Formatfun]

I do little marathons like this all the time haha.

The only one I could never finish was Regina Spektor. /:

just the full lengths, so not iron lung EP and not com lag.

[x togepi x]

how is this collective ap.net radiohead circle jerk different than you guys talking about them normally?

oh, you'll be talking about how oh so influential kid a is while it's playing? i just see no point.

I'm not all that big on most of Radiohead's work (save for Amnesiac and Hail), so I won't be participating, but I suspect one of the appeals is that novelty of collective listening making for a communal feel. It's really radio-esque, when there were only a few channels, ensuring that most people were listening to the same thing at the same time, and that can lend itself to commenting on a certain aspect of a song that everyone else can easily identify with or retain because they just listened to it.

I don't know, it kinda sounds flimsy and it's a bit silly, but I understand the appeal in it (even if I don't share it).

Sillyness tends to be serverely underrated in these parts.

I don't get it because people are just going to be saying the same things they always say because people talk about radiohead all the time. It'd be cool if it was somebody that doesn't get talked about here a lot but one could almost take part in this discussion without even being involved in the listening part.

maybe this would appeal to me more if i actually cared about this place.

[IWasaCamera]

It'd be far more interesting to do this with a new release.

I agree entirely, and that's why I believe it's a bit silly. I don't think we could get a listening party for a more obscure or eccentric artist here (or maybe we could and I'm underestimating the community, I don't know).

[kearn1tm]

It'd be far more interesting to do this with a new release.

We should do something like that, much in the way we'd feature those retrospective album discussions on the site. Maybe we could do a thing where all the SotS guys get on MSN, start listening to a new release and document our impressions in real time. We could then publish it as a roundtable review or dialog.

Honestly, it would only be interesting (to me) if the tunes were new to everyone so that the conversation consists of genuine first impressions as opposed to rehearsed/rehashed input. "Idioteque is, like, so creepy." Great.

Hmm, that's a pretty intriguing notion actually and it'd constitute a nice change of pace from our more conventional reviews. I'll let the others know and see what they think.

hahaha well obviously we're hoping on more comprehensive input than that. when megan and i listen to music together, we tend to point out minute details in the music/production and perhaps describe detailed images or moods or memories the music may bring out in us. overall though this is supposed to be a unique form of communal interactivity, that many of this site's users can enjoy and participate in at least in part, since most of them listen to and enjoy some of radiohead's music regardless whether the rest of their tastes coincide together or otherwise. it's not a rehashed circle-jerk of the band so much as the contribution of many different perspectives on each stage of the band's career from people with different musical backgrounds. the fact that everyone will be listening to the same thing at the same time increases the sense of communion and creates a focused, indepth discussion of each particular song/album rather than encompassing, vague blanket statements. for example, rather than just saying "sail to the moon is an awesome song", i can comment on the chord changes segueing into the song's midsection, with a leading note that gradually rises into climax, and perhaps another user will comment on the lyric lines at that point coinciding well with the transition or whatever else stands out to them at that point in the song.

Why not just have a big AIM group chat? Probably would be easier to use and have a more relaxed atmosphere. Either way, I'll gladly participate for the two Radiohead albums I have. It'd be cool to do this with other bands as well. Though, I don't think anyone is surprised you picked Thom Yorke and The Art Seizures as your virgin. My vote is for Regine Lasagna and The Hurdy Gurdies when their new record comes out

this might be a good idea, even though the intent was to create something fun to do on AP since it's been dull lately. but if everyone would prefer to do it on AIM, my screen name is RailroadEarth77 and whoever wants to participate that way can do so. i'll probably still keep up with the thread though for those who dont want to give their AIM names out.

[Burn That Shit]

my aim name is either lolroundobin or roundrobinlol. i don't remember which, either way, no one message me. i'll be very upset.

Another good album to have a big AIM chat for would be the new National album, whenever that comes out.

I agree with Todd that it would be more interesting to do this with an obscure album, maybe an from a genre that no one on AP is really into. It's always cool to see how different people's first reactions are to more quirky music.

I understand how you'd derive enjoyment out of this, being big on the compositional side of music, but for most, it seems as though they wouldn't even need to be listening to the album to chime in which Togepi pointed out earlier. I suspect most of the contributions will be quite similar to what you'd find in any official thread. But hey, if people enjoy it, it's all good.

Quirky genres that no one on AP is into...such as?

[GuitarR0cker1]

Hmmmm you have a point here. I was thinking traditional music from other parts of the globe like China, where the music instruments are entirely different or maybe music that virtually no one on AP is into like minimalism. I could be wrong about minimalism though, I think Phillip Glass has been mentioned around here a few times.

[IntoTheSun]

That sounds dreadful to analyze haha, sorry. It depends on what type of traditional music you are talking about and whether it's from Mainland China or Taiwan, but seriously, I'm sick of it. Maybe I just haven't heard the good stuff yet, no idea.

[IWasaCamera]

Quite a few of us here are into both world music past and present as well as minimalism.

I really think this venture would work best with new releases but I'll let it be now ha.

[IntoTheSun]

I think The National's new release will be my best bet in this case.

I know nothing about it hahaha. I've heard it a few times when they have those chinese opera things on pbs but other than that I haven't really heard it played. I'm sure there was a time period of Chinese music when they were influenced by Jazz or Classical, that would be interesting. What's the difference between music from China and Taiwan anyways?

I think this sounds pretty cool :shrug:

[c_rob2700]

I thought traditional Chinese music was just Dragons and gong banging and collecting all the talismans and making sure your niece Jade stays out of trouble.

PS. I'm down for both the thread and AIM chat. Granted, I get on AIM once a month so actually being notified when the discussion is happening would benefit thecalebinator06 the most. 8th grade screename, what up

Maybe I've just become to accustomed to the the sound, it's no longer interesting to me (I am Asian, as you may have deduced by now haha.) Well, the orcehstrated music is pretty similar, I think. But Taiwan has it's own unique folk culture, and they have a lot of traditional folk songs and such. My mom knows a bunch of them ha. They all sound pretty similar to me. Chinese orchestrated music is definitely more interesting than their modern music scene though...I wince at much of it.

I just asked my mom, here is an example of a taiwanese folk song: CHQaUCsq0YM

I actually enjoy this haha. Probably because it's sung by Vienna Teng..hmm.

[theguy77]

hahahaha megan and i woke up just in time for this.

anyone who's joining in for Pablo Honey (i'll be surprised if anyone does), get it ready in your playlist. we're starting in 7 minutes.

and remember, you can jump in at any time. we'll likely announce each album and have like a 10-15 minute intermission before we do it.

[theguy77]

3 MINUTES!

x

[theguy77]

1 minute left

[theguy77]

alright guys, we're underway

[Chromefox]

I am actually pleasantly surprised by how decidedly un-terrible the first trck has proven to be so far. It's a little bit catchy.

[theguy77]

ouch except for that really high squeaky note hahaha. but this song is way better than creep haha.

[theguy77]

nice tremolo effect leading back into the verse. that guitar riff is so serene and smooth as well.

[Chromefox]

I actually like the harmonies. Hawhawhaw.

[theguy77]

hahahahahahahaha and here goes this song

and there goes all the helium out of my happy balloon

[Chromefox]

Creep is atrocious.

[theguy77]

OMG GUITAR SCRATCHES

that is shallowly my favorite part of an otherwise horrible song.

JN-JN.... JN-JN... JN-JN-JN-JN IM A CCCREEEEEP

[Chromefox]

Yeah, i don't even find that redeeming.

[theguy77]

dude thom is so whiney omg hahaha no one cares if you want a perfect body

[Chromefox]

The only part I find remotely enjoyable is when he wails "RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNN"

[theguy77]

that part is actually really trite for me hahaha, i mean it definitely sounds like most melodramatic 90s radio songs though

[Chromefox]

WTF pop punk song?

[theguy77]

hahahaha dude this album is already full of surprises, so many things i just cant imagine radiohead doing

[Chromefox]

So many things Radiohead should never have done.

[theguy77]

its like this isnt even the same drummer haha he never does shit like this ever anymore

and also, lol @ the wankery, i guess THIS is where their "experimental" side started.......

[theguy77]

for some reason this song is reminding me of "call and answer" by barenaked ladies.

so far "creep" is still the worst song, that guitar riff is at least nice here, i also like the side rimmed drums and intermittent bass.

[Chromefox]

I predict that Creep is going to be the worst song on this album.

[KidRobot]

www.aim.com

[theguy77]

the flanger usage on this record is just so laughable haha it is such a corny post-grunge band effect to use on a guitar

[Chromefox]

I feel like Stop Whispering is so far most indicative of their progression to The Bends.

[theguy77]

^ i agree with that.

also why the fuck did they speed up this song haha, true sign of immaturity in a band... can't stick with a slower tempo.

[theguy77]

hey sweet, boring acoustic song time. oh and perfectly horrible melody hahaha. i love how they named the song after the first line which isnt even good at all. hahaha

[theguy77]

hahahaha "anyone can play guitar". yeah, when you play like THAT, anyone can do it.

[Chromefox]

This chorus is really inappropriate for this song.

[theguy77]

i really hated how the prechorus started off with a fast drumbeat on the first repeat and then it just got slower all of a sudden haha that was retarded. and the verse and chorus just do not mesh at all HAHAHAHA OMG I JUST HEARD THOM LIKE CRUNCH HIS VOICE UP, LOL

[Chromefox]

That fade out is so tacky.

[theguy77]

they named this song "ripcord" pretty aptly because im feeling like ripping my headphone cord out right now

[Chromefox]

BAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAW, truthy.

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

What is the point in this, exactly?

[Chromefox]

What is the point in this, exactly?
Well if the rest of you coming in here to complain would man up and join us, then it would generate SOME discussion in this community. I mean really. Radiohead is one band that almost everyone enjoys a piece of, and this is an effort to get some active listening/discussion going. Like a book club.

[theguy77]

the more people join in, the less it looks like trolling and the more fun it becomes. Pablo Honey is just a bad album so that's why its just us right now hahaha, but we'll be announcing the start of the bends with a 15 minute intermission.

[theguy77]

why does every song explode into the dumbest distortion within like 12 seconds hahaha

I'd definitely be doing this if I enjoyed Radiohead more than just a few songs. ha

"i can't [write a good song yet]"

[theguy77]

I'd definitely be doing this if I enjoyed Radiohead more than just a few songs. ha

ah yeah thats understandable. no worries, im just hoping more people will join in for at least an album or two.

[Chromefox]

I'd definitely be doing this if I enjoyed Radiohead more than just a few songs. ha See now that's totally reasonable. We're not just having a wank and it's discouraging when people come in, miss the point, and slag the effort at a community activity for it.

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

ah yeah thats understandable. no worries, im just hoping more people will join in for at least an album or two.


I have Kid A and In Rainbows. But I'll be at work, most likely.

I need to listen to those albums more and this seems like the opportunity. haha

[theguy77]

I have Kid A and In Rainbows. But I'll be at work, most likely.

I need to listen to those albums more and this seems like the opportunity. haha

yeah man, if you're not busy jump in!

[Chromefox]

I have Kid A and In Rainbows. But I'll be at work, most likely.

I need to listen to those albums more and this seems like the opportunity. haha if you can, please do. The more, seriously the merrier. and i feel a little stupid right now with only one other participant.

[theguy77]

i dont mind this song ("lurgee"), it's nice and calming

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

If I get off work in time and I'm not doing anything else, I'll definitely join in. ha

[Chromefox]

Eh, I still think it's bad. You was a decent surprise, but I was right not to expect too much from this album.

[theguy77]

well this is actually like SLIGHTLY better than i expected but like, i was expecting one of the worst rock albums i'd ever heard in my life. hahaha

[Chromefox]

Nah, this pretty much met my epectations, and I'm surprised to have gotten a single listenable song out of it.

[IntoTheSun]

What are all you crazies in here up to?

[theguy77]

hahaha this album closer. trying to jazz it up a bit or something.

oh, and there's that pointless distortion again. hahaha this is like when bands cover the beatles on overdrive.

[theguy77]

What are all you crazies in here up to?

starting the bends in like 20 minutes! you should jump in :-)

[Chromefox]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ANDREA, JOIN In.

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

oyzVXFIbSDM

In between albums, I suggest you give this a listen.

[theguy77]

at least they're playing with noise. that makes a pretty decent climax for the last song of the album. that's a really nice build, i love how it keeps rising toward the end of the track.

[Chromefox]

still bad.

[IntoTheSun]

I WILL!

My hair needs to dry first.

How do you guys feel about The Bends? Because I will have to kindly excuse myself if you tear it apart like you did to Pablo Honey.

[theguy77]

party pooper. lol, well there goes Pablo Honey. it gets a 2.5/10. most of it sucked but there were at least a couple pleasant surprises, though far and few between.

[IntoTheSun]

More like party crasher, Mr. and Mrs. We agree on everything Radiohead.

[c_rob2700]

*waiting for OK Computer and chuckling to himself over the ridiculousness of your Pablo Honey "discussion"*

[Chromefox]

haha, no, The Bends, while I don't particularly respect it, is still a decent album and I'm not going to shit on it, Andrea.

[Chromefox]

More like party crasher, Mr. and Mrs. We agree on everything Radiohead.
You wait until we get to Hail to the Thief. Hahahaha.

[theguy77]

I WILL!

My hair needs to dry first.

How do you guys feel about The Bends? Because I will have to kindly excuse myself if you tear it apart like you did to Pablo Honey.

haha i like the bends actually. i think its overrated but it is basically the one straight up rock album i listen to. we use it for profiling purposes. we've also got the Pet Shop Boys and Seal. /talladega nights quote

[IntoTheSun]

*waiting for OK Computer and chuckling to himself over the ridiculousness of your Pablo Honey "discussion"*

Oh, you like Ok Computer? :-d

I feel less alone now.
haha, no, The Bends, while I don't particularly respect it, is still a decent album and I'm not going to shit on it, Andrea.

Yeah, it's a decent album for what it's worth. About half of the songs are great and the other half is eh.

[theguy77]

*waiting for OK Computer and chuckling to himself over the ridiculousness of your Pablo Honey "discussion"*

hahaha yeah neither of us had heard the album all the way through before jumping in like that so it made a nice intro to this radiohead marathon.

[theguy77]

anyway, the bends in 10 minutes! meg and i are gonna order food.

[IntoTheSun]

Get chow mein or something wannabe-Asian like that.

[Chromefox]

Get chow mein or something wannabe-Asian like that. Shit's closed on a Sunday, so scratch the plan.

[c_rob2700]

haha i like the bends actually. i think its overrated but it is basically the one straight up rock album i listen to. we use it for profiling purposes. we've also got the Pet Shop Boys and Seal. /talladega nights quote

Talladega Nights is a terrible movie, Ryan. C'mon now

Oh, you like Ok Computer? :-d

I feel less alone now.


It's one of the two Radiohead albums I have. I like Radiohead. I just don't think they're God's gift to music like SOME PEOPLE :winkyface:

hahaha yeah neither of us had heard the album all the way through before jumping in like that so it made a nice intro to this radiohead marathon.

Buuut, butt, "Creep" is THE BEST Radiohead song. Like Radiohead is THE BEST band next to my other favorites, Cope Land & Bon Eyebur

- Miley Cyrus

[theguy77]

alright guys we're starting The Bends at 3 PM EST, so 4 minutes. start your engines!

[theguy77]

Talladega Nights is a terrible movie, Ryan. C'mon now

megan liked it. 2 elders against one child, bitch!

It's one of the two Radiohead albums I have. I like Radiohead. I just don't think they're God's gift to music like SOME PEOPLE :winkyface:

Is the other HTTT?

I hope that winkyface is not directed towards me. You have no grounds to make such allegations!

[Chromefox]

Starting in one minute.

[Miley Cyrus]

wow, lol! I LOVE RADIO HEAD even though Tom York was mean to me! Has Pablo Honey already bean talked about? Thats they're best, I think!

[Chromefox]

Okay, we're underway. Is The Bends.

[theguy77]

i really do like how this song is like fucking drenched in tremolo, its like it's underwater. it may be a gimmick, but its a tasteful one.

[IntoTheSun]

Fuck. My dad came home at exactly 12:00 am...now I have no way of listening and posting at the same time.

[Chromefox]

The Bends is immediately so much better than Pablo Honey. Planet Telex uses tremolo quite well. Is it just me or is the piano of this song clipped and used more than any other Radiohead song? I just feel like I hear it on TV and the radio, sampled for intros and shit, on a constant basis.

[theguy77]

those chords are really nice. and that ending guitar riff, so tasteful on top. see, on this album, the professionalism is immediately increased even though they havent really tapped into their creative side yet.

[briewer]

You guys want me to update you on what non-Radiohead music I'm listening to? I think that'd be fun, and you guys can be really jealous of my better taste.

[Miley Cyrus]

NOt as good as CREEP. MY ANTHEM, I TELL YOU. Btdub, what's yur avatar? Are those....poor people? lol, I wipe my shits with 100$ bills and live in tha mansions of Nashville, TN Yaal! lol

[xJesusFreakx]

That Pablo Honey "discussion" was ridiculous. I got some good chuckles, though I'll never understand the harsh "Creep" hate.

[Chromefox]

Aw, ballsack, Andrea. what's the dealio?

as an aside, I loved the Bends intensely for about a month until I heard OK Computer.

and I enjoy the title track a fair bit.

[theguy77]

hahaha so funny hearing thom go "talkin to my girlfriend waiting for somethin to happen", that's a far cry from his cryptic, almost catatonic lyrical style of later days.

and the way that chord just rings out along with his voice, yeahhh

[briewer]

I hope Miley Cyrus becomes a regular contributor. This is entertaining.

[theguy77]

That Pablo Honey "discussion" was ridiculous. I got some good chuckles, though I'll never understand the harsh "Creep" hate.

hahaha yeah megan and i are very verbose when we dislike something. remember when we heard daisy?

[theguy77]

I hope Miley Cyrus becomes a regular contributor. This is entertaining.

JOIN US BRIAN! in like 3 minutes we'll be on the most overrated song on the record (fake plastic trees)

[IntoTheSun]

You guys want me to update you on what non-Radiohead music I'm listening to? I think that'd be fun, and you guys can be really jealous of my better taste.

Fuck Buttons?
That Pablo Honey "discussion" was ridiculous. I got some good chuckles, though I'll never understand the harsh "Creep" hate.
I like Creep. That immediately nullifies any respectful post I can contribute to this thread, correct?

Aw, ballsack, Andrea. what's the dealio?

:-(

[Chromefox]

Ryan is so full of shit. Fake Plastic Trees for the win.

High and Dry is totally cliche though.

[theguy77]

the part that goes like "dont leave me high, dont leave me dry" sounds like the chorus of like everything on my mom's "adult alternative" radio station hahaha

[IntoTheSun]

Ryan is so full of shit. Fake Plastic Trees for the win.

High and Dry is totally cliche though.

Everything said here is the truth.

[DejaNew]

Fake Plastic Trees.

[xJesusFreakx]

hahaha yeah megan and i are very verbose when we dislike something. remember when we heard daisy?

Ha, oh yeah. That was hilarious. You were so dang malicious, lol.

[Chromefox]

Fake Plastic Trees.
You're the man, Dom.

[c_rob2700]

megan liked it. 2 elders against one child, bitch!


IF I WAS STILL A CHRISTIAN I'D LASER YOUR ASS
She's Canadian, what does she know of good comedy? The Mighty Ducks?

Poop

Is the other HTTT?

I hope that winkyface is not directed towards me. You have no grounds to make such allegations!

Poop

In Rainbows

No, it was not directed towards you. I'm too busy hitting on the leader of my youth group (this isn't a joke, ask Meg). Even if it was, you can't tell me what I can and can't do, I'm punk as fuck. I spin-kicked a trash can in the middle of the street today just because I'm so badass

wow, lol! I LOVE RADIO HEAD even though Tom York was mean to me! Has Pablo Honey already bean talked about? Thats they're best, I think!

Winner

[theguy77]

hahaha this guitar solo.

at least they're mature enough not to explode into distortion.

and here comes the song i just don't get hahaha these chords are just lame and i dont like the melody at all.

[DejaNew]

You're the man, Dom.
Why thank you. I feel like joining in now for a bit. That's where you guys are, right?

[Chromefox]

Dude, FPT is all about the climax and the FEELINGS. FEELINGS. OR DO YOU ONLY HAVE ONE?

[Chromefox]

Why thank you. I feel like joining in now for a bit. That's where you guys are, right? Heck yes we are, we're about 2 min in.

[briewer]

Fuck Buttons?
Are you insulting Fuck Buttons? And no, I'm listening to High Places- "Gold Coin" right now. Delicious.

[DejaNew]

Heck yes we are, we're about 2 min in.
Alrighty, then I'm right on track. But I missed High And Dry! I wanted to make fun of it. I love that song though

[theguy77]

see everyone loves the climax but it just climaxes like a million other songs to me. and god the falsetto on fake plaaAAAAAAAAAAAstic just bugs the fuck out of me hahaha, but i'll stop being a buzzkill, everyone else likes that song. i just dont get it i guess.

[briewer]

JOIN US BRIAN! in like 3 minutes we'll be on the most overrated song on the record (fake plastic trees)
Nah, I got other shit to do.

[DejaNew]

Come on Ryan, it was on Entourage! Such a sad moment in the show:-(

[DejaNew]

Nah, I got other shit to do.
I think you're lying, Brian.

[IntoTheSun]

Are you insulting Fuck Buttons? And no, I'm listening to High Places- "Gold Coin" right now. Delicious.

Not at all! I really liked the 2+ songs I've heard from them. Tarot Sport sounds like a better bet for me as of now.

[Chromefox]

Ha, oh yeah. That was hilarious. You were so dang malicious, lol. Dude, you don't even know how aggro I can get.

She's Canadian, what does she know of good comedy? Pretty sure canada is better known for its comedians than the US is.

Alrighty, then I'm right on track. But I missed High And Dry! I wanted to make fun of it. I love that song though make fun of Bones then.

SO SHITHOUSE.

[theguy77]

Come on Ryan, it was on Entourage! Such a sad moment in the show:-(

hahaha i actually have the first 3 seasons of that sitting in my room, got them for christmas. plan on watching through them soon.

hahaha i like the chorus of this song in a michael jackson sort of way.

[briewer]

I think you're lying, Brian.
Maybe...

Not at all! I really liked the 2+ songs I've heard from them. Tarot Sport sounds like a better bet for me as of now.
Oh good. Every time I listen to "Flight of the Feathered Serpent", I just wanna find a huge guy who's like twice my size to fight. Such an epic song.

[theguy77]

YOU'VE GOT TO FEEEEL IT IN YOUR BOOOOONES

x

[DejaNew]

make fun of Bones then.

SO SHITHOUSE.

I like the falsetto singing in the chorus, but I think the lyrics are a little weak. The Peter Pan reference is a little lame as well.

[theguy77]

oh man the way those chords somehow cascade down in the beginning. i love when you can have chords with an underlying walk-up or walk-down melody, there's a lot of that in "karma police".

[IntoTheSun]

Maybe...

Northbrook?

Oh good. Every time I listen to "Flight of the Feathered Serpent", I just wanna find a huge guy who's like twice my size to fight. Such an epic song.

Yes, that may be the one I listened to.

Well this ha devolved into a Brand New chat thread, hasn't it.

[briewer]

I had to turn that song on. I can't even think about it without wanting to blow out my speakers jamming it.

[DejaNew]

hahaha i actually have the first 3 seasons of that sitting in my room, got them for christmas. plan on watching through them soon.

hahaha i like the chorus of this song in a michael jackson sort of way.
You'll enjoy it. Great show. And Fake Plastic Trees is in it.

[c_rob2700]

Pretty sure canada is better known for its comedians than the US is.

Why do you take my Canadian jokes seriously when you know I not so secretly want to be one?

[DejaNew]

Why do you take my Canadian jokes seriously when you know I not so secretly want to be one?
We will accept you with open arms. Wanna trade citizenship? I wanna move to L.A

[Chromefox]

Andrea hit the nail on the head saying that half of this album is decent and the other half is sub-par. I even find this within single tracks like Nice Dream, as the verses are awful and the wankery is good.

[theguy77]

HELL YES "JUST"

hahaha i love how angry this song is.

[DejaNew]

Really different guitar towards the end of nice dream. Kinda sounds like sirens. Really dreamy, it fits the mood well.

[theguy77]

the video for this song is fucking awesome i love how you just cant understand what the dude says at the end

[Chromefox]

Why do you take my Canadian jokes seriously when you know I not so secretly want to be one?
I'm just providing you more incentive.

Just is agood rock song.

[DejaNew]

the video for this song is fucking awesome i love how you just cant understand what the dude says at the end
Yeah, it's so weird. I was first introduced to this song by Much Music, and i thought the video was really cool.

[theguy77]

YOU DO IT TO YOURSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSELF

hahahaha i always sing that part.

and FUCK how johnny's guitar just SCREAMS i dont even understand how he hits that note. its not on any fret.

[IntoTheSun]

We will accept you with open arms. Wanna trade citizenship? I wanna move to L.A

WHATTTT... you be crazy. You want to come to California?

HELL YES "JUST"

hahaha i love how angry this song is.

One of my favorites on the album.

[theguy77]

and here's the part where i freak out.

[IntoTheSun]

the video for this song is fucking awesome i love how you just cant understand what the dude says at the end

FUCK I'VE MENTIONED ALL OF THIS BEFORE. IT'S ALL BEEN SAID AND DONE IN THE RADIOHEAD THREAD. ARGHHHHH

[Chromefox]

My Iron Lung has a really annoying riff, but the noodling is worth listening for.

[DejaNew]

WHATTTT... you be crazy. You want to come to California?



One of my favorites on the album.
Yeah, there's a few movies that I want to get on.

[theguy77]

yeah this is an example of terrible verses being redeemed. seriously my favorite part of the whole album is definitely the crazy parts of this song.

[briewer]

Northbrook?
Woof. only saying that because I know Ryan will see it. Love you hon!


Yes, that may be the one I listened to.
Possibly. In their defense, all of the tracks off of Tarot Sport are like that. But after an entire album that is a pretty gigantic fire itself, they throw in a stick of dynamite to close it with FOTFS. So, so good.

[Chromefox]

He's playing air guitar.

[theguy77]

ahhahahaha yeah i stood up and everything.

but since i actually know how to play that part i was air guitaring CORRECTLY, thank you very much.

[theguy77]

HELL YEAH JONNY LET 'ER RIP

x

[DejaNew]

Correct air guitar is essential when listening to The Bends.

[IntoTheSun]

Yeah, there's a few movies that I want to get on.

We also surf to school, hunt sharks, and write poetry on the beach. Would you like to join us?

[theguy77]

YEAHHH hahahaha i love this so much holy shit

that HIGH NOTE hahahah

[Chromefox]

I feel like this couch is a mosh pit.

[theguy77]

ahhahaha this song is so easily better than fake plastic trees.

megan is going to punch me.

[briewer]

Listening to Gas- Pop. Yum.

[DejaNew]

We also surf to school, hunt sharks, and write poetry on the beach. Would you like to join us?
Is there drinking involved in all of these activities? If yes, I will be there in 24 hours.

[Chromefox]

Dude Bulletproof is just shitty. You are so wrong it's not even funny. I'm aiming for the balls.

[theguy77]

NOT MY PEACHES AND CREAM!

x

[theguy77]

it's just the completely serene atmosphere of this song, his voice is so somber, and that guitar has so much reverb on it as it just wails off in the distance. it's just pure desolation, one of the first radiohead songs i've felt could accurately represent every facet of a certain feeling or sentiment.

[briewer]

Dude Bulletproof is just shitty. You are so wrong it's not even funny. I'm aiming for the balls.

NOT MY PEACHES AND CREAM!

Wait, are you guys typing this stuff while sitting right next to each other?

[Chromefox]

Black Star is pretty good in my opinion. It was one of the first Bends tracks I really came to know. I hate (for the most part) when fading is used to enter or leave a song though.

[theguy77]

Wait, are you guys typing this stuff while sitting right next to each other?

hahaha yeah, read the first post man. megan's at my place.

[Chromefox]

Wait, are you guys typing this stuff while sitting right next to each other? No, I am being beamed by a satellite. I am a hologram.

[theguy77]

i love how the main riff of this song has 3-measure phrases. it sets it apart, that walk down in the third measure.

this bass/drum section's kinda corny though. with the harmonies almost reminds me of "joker".

[c_rob2700]

We will accept you with open arms. Wanna trade citizenship? I wanna move to L.A
Yes, the love of my life lives in Canada. L.A. is The Jersey Shore year around though. Just a warning

I'm just providing you more incentive.

Trust me, Megan, I have all the incentive I need

Lame.

Speaking of a different, better Black Star, Mos Def and Talib Kweli are supposed to come out with a new Black Star album this year.

[Chromefox]

Trust me, Megan, I have all the incentive I need

http://9.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kurfz1Y11p1qzzhy7o1_500.jpg They make me wonder why our country is still sitting at 30 million, and why immigration has not skyrocketed.

[briewer]

We will accept you with open arms. Wanna trade citizenship? I wanna move to L.A
No, you want to move to New York. That's where all the cool people live.

[DejaNew]

Yes, the love of my life lives in Canada. L.A. is The Jersey Shore year around though. Just a warning

I'll be too busy to notice if I end up moving there. There are many great things about Canada though, so I'll most likely stay. If I ever get bored, I can just go shoot stuff with a gun. I realize I can also do that in Texas, but it's just not the same.

[theguy77]

Lame.

you're just jealous.

They make me wonder why our country is still sitting at 30 million, and why immigration has not skyrocketed.

too fucking cold

[DejaNew]

No, you want to move to New York. That's where all the cool people live.
Yeah, the film industry is pretty solid there, but there's no comparison to Hollywood.

[theguy77]

the chorus of this song has a really great melody and the final chorus is a REAL climax if you ask me, the way he belts it out.

[Chromefox]

Thom's vocals are probably at their best (on The Bends) in Sulk.

[theguy77]

that fucking key change, man. just gives me the shivers.

loving like the fourth appearance of tremolo as an effect in the background lol.

[theguy77]

oh man Street Spirit is so creepy haha this song is awesome.

[c_rob2700]

They make me wonder why our country is still sitting at 30 million, and why immigration has not skyrocketed.
Speaking of Canadian awsome, did you happen to read the article Regine wrote about the earthquake in Haiti? Seriously broke my heart

[Chromefox]

Street Spirit is a total gem. I love this riff.

[briewer]

you're just jealous.
Nope, my bestest bro ever is going to be moving back into my apartment in an hour or so. I'm excited.

[Chromefox]

Speaking of Canadian awsome, did you happen to read the article Regine wrote about the earthquake in Haiti? Seriously broke my heart Link me on Facebook?

Honestly, she was the first person I thought of, and I kind of predicted there would be a reaction there.

[DejaNew]

That fucking hi-hat playing in Sulk is piercing my ears.

[theguy77]

one thing ive kind of realized through this listen of The Bends is that it's so blatantly guitar centric its hard to find other things to comment on. the bass and drums didn't start to stand out yet.

[Chromefox]

See, I like this community discussion because I get to see how the people I talk to on a regular basis listen and react to music. It's interesting.

[theguy77]

those backing vocals just haunt me. and the way it ends on a ride cymbal haha

[DejaNew]

one thing ive kind of realized through this listen of The Bends is that it's so blatantly guitar centric its hard to find other things to comment on. the bass and drums didn't start to stand out yet.
Yeah, I find the guitar often overshadows the vocals on The Bends.

[theguy77]

alright guys, OK COMPUTER IN 12 MINUTES!!! GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER FOR THE BEST MAINSTREAM ROCK ALBUM OF THE 90S.
If you consider The Soft Bulletin mainstream, then you're wrong.

[DejaNew]

Are we taking a break between albums?

[theguy77]

Are we taking a break between albums?

yeah just until 4 PM EST though, so 9 minutes.

[theguy77]

If you consider The Soft Bulletin mainstream, then you're wrong.

hahaha that is it's closest competitor, i'll give you that. but i do prefer OK computer, namely for the fact that it couldn't be produced any more perfectly and the flow of the album is impeccable as well.

[c_rob2700]

Link me on Facebook?

Honestly, she was the first person I thought of, and I kind of predicted there would be a reaction there.
Alright, I sent it to you

Yeah, same here. The first thing I got was an email where they asked to donate to Partners In Health and than I saw that article and...ugh, it's so so sad. I'm probably going to have to see some of it too

See, I like this community discussion because I get to see how the people I talk to on a regular basis listen and react to music. It's interesting.

I like it too but it really needs to be done with some other artists to see if the idea floats

Too plebeian. I only started getting interested in Radiohead's message on Kid A.

What just happened? I went to eat lunch...
